Serena Williams Gets Catty With Maria Sharapova

posted by Vanessa Denis

Serena Williams' interview with Rolling Stone was published last week (6/18) and it ruffled a few of Maria Sharapova's feathers. Maria's also a tennis player who has lost 13 tennis matches against Serena, a match in 2004 was a time where Maria beat Serena.

The writer of the Rolling Stone guessed that Serena was talking about the love life of Maria Sharapova and wrote that in the article.

"She [Maria] begins every interview with `I'm so happy. I'm so lucky' – it's so boring. She's still not going to be invited to the cool parties. And, hey, if she wants to be with the guy with a black heart, go for it."

That is followed by these words in parentheses from the author of the piece, Stephen Rodrick: "An educated guess is she's talking about Sharapova, who is now dating Grigor Dimitrov, one of Serena's rumored exes."

Maria responded to the comment at her pre-tournament press conference.

"If she wants to talk about something personal, maybe she should talk about her relationship and her boyfriend that was married and is getting a divorce and has kids."

"Talk about other things, but not draw attention to other things. She has so much in her life, many positives, and I think that's what it should be about."
